Ques: Master, During my meditation, I used to see the light but now when I sit I don’t see the light anymore?
Baba Ji: Brother the light is always there. For example if I look at you, I see you but if I turn my head in the other direction I will not be able to see you. You have to look in the right direction and do not get distracted.
Ques: Master, the thoughts that come to my mind, are they from the mind or God?
Baba Ji: The thoughts come from mainly the mind sister. We have the power of discrimination, to choose from right and wrong.
Ques: Master you look very beautiful, so is God like you?

Ques: Master, I have been initiated for 3 years and I try to meditate but I fall asleep?
Baba Ji: When the mind is at bliss it tends to fall asleep. When you catch yourself doing this, get up and try again. Repeat the names.
Ques: Why do satsangies have more sufferings?
Baba Ji: Sister, you are associating with only satsangies that is why you think that they are the only ones suffering. You have no idea what the other people are going through

Ques: Master, why is the mind so stupid and stubborn?

Ques: Whenever a disciple sits in meditation he is never alone!
Baba Ji: It is not for us to judge the progress, ours is to do our duty faithfully and leave the rest to the Master. Attend to your meditation most regularly without fail. Look upon it as your most paramount duty towards the Lord.
Ques: How can we love the Guru, please teach us?
Babaji: Sister, love is a feeling, it can’t be taught. Just like a mother calls her child with different pet names but that does not change her love for the child. In the same way we in our love have kept different names of God but God is one. The only way we can love our guru or express our love to him is by our meditation. All other forms of love are only to the physical level.
Ques: Why is it that we love the physical form of the master?
Babaji said: Since we have not seen the lord it is natural that we have limited ourselves to what our eyes can see but we have to rise above the physical and go to the spiritual. He said if we love the physical form, we will be limiting ourselves to the physical
Ques: Can I come and hug you and touch your feet?
Babaji laughed and said: Sister, if I allow you, you can see all the people in the hall sitting here will also follow you and in the end I will become a sandwich and laughed. He also told her that by hugging and touching my feet you will limit yourself to the physical form and she should rise above that
Ques: Where are the feet of the master?
Babaji said: The feet of the master are at the eye centre so that is why we have to concentrate at the eye centre so that we can be at the feet of the master.
